I really appreciate the effort you went to to help me out.Īs far as my skill level at the moment I am about to enter my 2nd year of studying a Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering. Thank you for your most comprehensive reply. Also, sometimes Creo doesn't like the combination of chord height and step size and won't generate the model in which case you'll have to tweak the step size to achieve the quality of step file that you want. If you're doing a lot of stl's a mapkey will make it easier. Not sure what your skill level is but I use a mapkey to generate a 3mf file with 1.5*chord height and. Either way save your model prior to performing the save as. If Creo seems to crash, it's likely that it's generating a monster stl/3mf file and you can either get frustrated and kill the process or wait it out. For small to medium models I do 1.5*chord height for larger more detailed models I tweak to maintain a manageable file size. 5Ĭheck step size and make it somewhere between equal to to 3 * chord height. When you do save as check "customize export" then select "OK"Īngle control settings between 1 and 0 with 1 being most detailed (larger file size and longer to generate) I typically leave it at.
I use Creo exclusively and your problem is that you need to adjust the stl/3mf settings when you do a save as. In contrast my Fusion models are always exactly how they look in the model.ĭoes anyone have any practice at setting up the 3D printing side of things inside of Creo 5.0? I feel I should invest the time now while Uni is on break and then focus on using just Creo from now on. A circular model will have large tesselations. Posted by: have tried using Creo for 3D printing but my stl files always seem to be of a very poor quality and result in terrible prints.
